Syllabus

Summary judgment; Civ.R. 56; R.C. 313.19; coroner's verdict; cause of death; mode of death; manner of death; competent, credible evidence. Judgment affirmed. Appellant was convicted of felony murder in connection with the death of his infant daughter. He filed suit attempting to have the coroner's verdict changed to \accident\ or \undetermined.\ After careful review of the record, we find that no genuine issue of material fact remains to be litigated regarding the cause, manner, and mode of death of appellant's infant daughter. Appellant's theories are not evidence and do not create a genuine issue of material fact. Summary judgment in favor of the appellee was proper.
